Bucket Tree Lodge
2.5 star property
Tawa
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (91 reviews)
"Stayed at Bucket Tree Lodge in Wellington recently. The room was tidy and comfortable, but cleanliness was just above average. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I liked that it had a kitchen setup. The only downside was the noise from the nearby railway tracks, which can be a bit distracting at night. Overall, it’s a convenient and welcoming spot, especially if you’re travelling or need a short-term stay. "
